From on Mon, 5 Mar 2007

I am writing to you this time about the Pritchard family in Beechworth Victoria. I am connected to them through my paternal grandmother Ethel Cecilia Pritchard b. 1899. She was the daughter of George Alexander Pritchard b. 1861 and Louisiana (Lucy Ellen) Youngman b. 1865.

George and Lucy Ellen had 11 children - and I thought you might want that extra information for your web site. They were:
i) Charles George Leslie Pritchard b. 1886 #7989 at Beechworth Vic
ii) George Alexander Pritchard b. 1888 B#8720
iii) Ruby Pearl Pritchard b. 1890 #19801
iv) Edward Theodore Pritchard b. 1892 #19845
v) Hilda Oakman Pritchard b. 1895 # 19527 at Chiltern Vic
vi) Eric Norman Pritchard b. 1897 #18004
vii) Ethel Cecilia Pritchard b. 1899 #17379
viii) Lindsay Roy Pritchard b. 1902 #9280
ix) Reg Gordon Pritchard b. 1904 #9213
x) Veronica May Pritchard b. 1904 #9214
xi) Ada Eileen Pritchard b. 1906 #25622
